Let's be honest; everyone looks. Everyone cares. Everyone has them. They're your glutes, and a built backside is not only a visual asset, but it's probably one of the best indicators of your fitness levels. Glutes are great, and they keep you moving through your day. Athletes always give them a pat in congratulations, and celebrities can make a career off of having big ones. Running fast demands them, and you check in the mirror to see how they're sitting, so to speak.

So what should YOU be doing to keep yourself in the game? Here are my favorite moves to sculpt your seat:

Squats: The best move in your lower body arsenal, keep this as part of your routine! When squatting, always remember to kick your butt back as if you were sitting in a chair. Keep those glutes tight through the entire motion, and remember to rotate your hips forward at the top of the motion to fully engage the motion.

Romanian Deadlift: Great way to hit both the glutes and the hamstrings. Be sure to have a slight angle in the knees so that you can hinge from the glues without putting too much strain on your hamstrings. Bringing the weight right below your knees, keep your back flat and abs tight. Squeeze your glutes hard as your return to a full standing position at each rep.

Step Ups: Simplicity doesn't make it less effective! Planting on a stable platform, drive through your front foot to step up onto risers or a step. Be careful that you don't lean excessively over your front foot, as it puts extra pressure into the knee. As you get the form down, add weight at your sides, on your back, or get creative and have imbalanced weights to give you a challenge!

Glute Bridge: Now here's a move that really will kick your ass! Starting on your back, set your knees at a 90 degree angle. Draw your core in, and drive your feet through the floor and raise your hips up.hold for a second at the top to reeeeally get a squeeze out of your butt, then return to the floor. Once you feel that you have mastered this move, add some weight. Yes ladies, this goes for you too! You should never be afraid of heavy weights, they are a crucial part of shaping your body!

There are other moves that can be effective in carving out a great butt, but these are just my personal go-to moves. Keep your workouts productive and use some of these exercises in your workouts this week!
